Enzo Cloud Backup .NET API

Enzo Cloud Backup offers administrators the ability to backup SQL Databases and Azure Tables, along with the capability to perform restore operations
either manually or on a defined schedule. If you need further control over the backup and restore operations you can use the Enzo Cloud Backup .NET API
and control backup and restore operations directly within your application code. The API provides most of the capabilities of the application itself.

This section of the documentation refers to the Enzo Cloud Backup API which requires a seperate download from the Bluesyntax website. In addition,
you must already own a copy of the Enzo Cloud Backup tool before you can use the API because the API relies on configuration settings controlled by the
application.

In addition to the steps above, you will need to install and run at least once
the Enzo Cloud Backup application so that the necessary configuration settings
are created in the cloud. You may also need to deploy a cloud agent if you
intend to use the API with cloud agents.

Enzo Cloud Agent
The API allows you to leverage your Enzo Cloud Agents easily; all the operations
performed by the API can be asynchronous through the use of a Enzo Cloud Agent.
When an operation is started with a cloud agent, you can monitor its progress
using the application.
Note that your application cannot send messages directly to the cloud agents; it
must go through the API.

Message Pipeline
The API also provides a unique mechanism to assist you integrate with your own
code: you can optionally indicate to the API that a specific message be sent in
an Azure Queue at the completion of the operation. This allows your code to use
Azure Queues as a trigger mechanism to perform other tasks.
For more information on this feature, check the Integration Pipeline help
section.

Enzo Storage Account
When you use constructors to use the API, the API needs to know how to connect
to the Enzo storage account that contains the overall configuration settings.
This is the same set of credentials that you use when logging in with the
application. You can either use registry settings to let the API find the proper
Azure connection settings, or provide the Azure credentials as part of the
constructor.

API License Key
The API requires a license key to function. The license key to run the API is
different than the one used by the application. Please contact info @
bluesyntax.net to obtain an API license key. The license key must be provided as
part of the API constructors.
